Is it unreasonable for Sennheiser to expect reviewers to have a certain amount of professionalism and to be constructive in their criticism? It's possible to be very negative without flaming. If Sennheiser punished a reviewer who said something like "these aren't up to the standard I expect from...

Tone is hard to read on the Internet, but to be clear I'm not bashing the headphones. Everything I'm posting is just first impressions and quirks/problems that other people here might have encountered as well. It takes time to really get to know a headphone and decide whether I'll end up liking...

The Sony is voltage capped for regulatory reasons. Within that voltage cap its class D amplifier can deliver sufficient current, especially for a hi-Z headphone like this.

Just a few days in and the left driver started buzzing like mad. I was afraid the driver had blown, but I'd been listening on a very underpowered source which couldn't blow a driver even if it tried (Sony NW-A306). The trick in this thread worked and the left side has stopped buzzing, but I'm...

I agree with what you wrote about the Deva Pro's bass being somewhat loose and uncontrolled, and I found that the Dekoni Elite Velours really improved the bass tightness. Part of it is that they actually seal instead of just sitting loosely around my ears like the stock pads, but also the velour...

Picked up one of these recently shipped from Thomman to the US. In the past week prices in the US dropped to more or less what I paid to order from Europe, oh well. A few quick hits: The cables stink, literally. They smell like cheap shoe rubber and the smell seeps into the headphone. I've got...

Mystery solved: it's actually a bad photoshop of the Aeon 2 from the Jotunheim combo picture.

Am I misinterpreting the picture or does that show the Aeon 2 folding gimbal on an Aeon RT? If so, dang! I just picked up the Closed X not too long ago... EDIT: that's a VIVO cable on there too and I'm guessing that probably doesn't come in the box with this bundle. I bet the picture is of some...

Are you planning to keep selling this without a disclaimer that it doesn't play back CDs correctly?

I'll be more specific: can you update the EC Mini to follow the CD table of contents as a Red Book CD player should do? That means that if a track has a pre-gap of 2s, there should be a 2s pause in playback between tracks, and if it's longer (as it is on some discs) it should be longer when...

What is the weight of the DISCDREAM? Does it play CDs gaplessly when there is no gap between tracks?

Don't have a recommendation, sorry. The issues I'm describing are in comparison to true native/dedicated RBCD players and transports; I have both an Onkyo DX-C390 changer (used as transport) and C-7030 player and both of them play gaplessly without issues. Neither of them is particularly...

I've just received my EC Mini via AliExpress. It arrived with the latest 2.0 firmware already preloaded on it. While the specs are fairly clear on this, everyone should be aware that this is a fairly substantial device - think of it more like a desktop CD player that can be used off batteries...

On my Android-based DAP the Bluemini R2R seems to have 30 volume steps. With classical I might be at 15/30 for a comfortable listening volume on some albums. With EDM/pop-ish material, it might be more like 8/30 or 10/30. If anything my complaint with the Bluemini R2R is that the steps between...

I installed the 1.02.00 update on my NW-A306 (NA model) yesterday and I regret doing so. When using the Walkman/Music Player application over Bluetooth with either my Grado GW100x or HIFIMAN Deva Pro, there are now micro-pops and stutters in music playback that weren't present in the previous...
